I really enjoy the food and atmosphere here at Los Arcos. The friendly staff is always helpful and they know the menu from cover to cover. This is my go to spot to bring any family or friends from out of town to. There is tons of seating, and the food comes out very fast. Be careful though, the chips and salsa are so delicious you can make a meal out of them.

I love this place!! The food is always amazing. They make their tortillas in house. The staff are always very efficient and polite. I'll be back a million times before I die

Always a good experience, friendly staff, good food. Also, a great value considering that you pay less and get more than you would from some of the local Mexican Food fast food chains. The atmosphere is also representative of style.

We come here when we are in Salem! We live in Pacific City & our Mexican restaurant has good food, but the prices & food portions are nothing compared to this restaurant! We never leave hungry & we truly appreciate the chips, beans & salsa on the house! Both the Lancaster Dr & Commercial St restaurants are equally scrumptious! We love the homemade tortillas; it really sets this restaurant apart from other restaurants with commercially bought tortillas! Service is always amazing, portions are terrific & prices are appreciated!

We come all the way from Woodburn (about 30mins away) to get their Pupusas even though there are a few other places in between here and there. But they REALLY are THAT good. They are large in size, perfectly cooked and never greasy. Living in LA, Ca. where there are so many really good Salvadoran restaurants, that's compliment holds some meaning to it. Our server (Briceida) was awesome and on top of everything. We never went more than a moment of needing something before she popped over with it. More chips and dip? More napkins? Togo boxes? Literally on top of it! just great service, great food, and great prices... An all around good place to dine. Oh, and they have a nice bar area if you wanna go hang out and have a little adult time.

A family staple for over 30 years. My grandfather took me here when I was little and the original owner knew him by name, then my dad by name. 30 years later they now know me by name and this family owned Salem establishment
